CYCLIN D1 PROTEIN OVEREXPRESSION IS RELATED TO TUMOR DIFFERENTIATION, BUT NOT TO TUMOR PROGRESSION OR PROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITY, IN TRANSITIONAL CELL CARCINOMA OF THE BLADDER

Abstract

Cyclin D1 in transitional cell bladder carcinoma was closely related to tumor differentiation but not to tumor progression. Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder may utilize another pathway for proliferation that is independent of cyclin D1.
